How to Order a Packaging Sample?

Order your Packaging Samples in 3 simple steps.

Step 1: Choose Box Style and Material

Select the rigid box style and material that best fit your product, as these determine the packaging structure, strength, and overall premium feel.

Step 2: Submit Artwork or Dieline

Share your dieline and print-ready artwork files, such as AI, PDF, or PSD, to verify dimensions, folds, cuts, and branding details before production.

Step 3: Get Your Sample Ready

The production team prepares, checks, and completes your sample for review so you can approve the structure, print quality, and finishing before bulk manufacturing.


Types of Packaging Samples

Sleek Boxes provides three packaging sample types: plain unprinted structural samples, printed reference samples using existing designs, and fully customized pre-production samples matched to final specifications.

Plain Packaging Sample

Plain Sample

A plain sample is an unprinted box used to verify structure, internal dimensions, and material thickness, allowing physical fit checks, load testing, and fold accuracy without artwork, inks, or finishes.

Printed Packaging Sample

Printed Sample

A printed sample is a printed packaging sample produced with existing artwork that lets you check print resolution, color consistency, and finishing methods, such as matte lamination or spot UV, at a lower cost and faster turnaround, without reflecting your brand design.

Pre-Production Packaging Sample

Pre-Production Sample

A pre-production sample replicates the final packaging using approved dielines, exact dimensions, and custom artwork, so color accuracy, fit tolerance, closure function, and surface treatment can be verified before mass production.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a plain, printed, and pre-production sample?

A plain sample checks structure and size without printing, a printed sample shows print and material quality using existing artwork, and a pre-production sample replicates the final box with your exact dimensions, artwork, materials, and finishes.

What is the TAT of the packaging sample?

The turnaround time (TAT) for a packaging sample is typically 5 to 7 business days, depending on the sample type, printing requirements, and finishing steps.

How much time will you take to ship the packaging sample?

Packaging samples ship within 3 to 7 business days after completion, depending on destination and courier service.

Can I use my own artwork design for the packaging sample?

Yes, you can use your own artwork design for the packaging sample if you submit print‑ready files in AI, PDF, or PSD format that match the approved dieline and selected sample type.
